Ayah 102 And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.

2
Context Suleiman A.S. was the son of Dawud A.S.  both were kings of Bani Israel He had birds, jinns and the wind under his control (with the permission of Allah) The shaitaan put in the hearts of people that Suleiman A.S. had all these things because of magic to get the Bani Israel interested in this However, practicing magic is forbidden, and Suleiman A.S. was not an unbeliever (got everything from the fadl of Allah SWT)

3
Context They thought he was a magician, but he was a messenger Haarut and Maarut: 2 angels who knew magic, were sent to the Bani Israel as a test Before teaching magic to anyone, they would say “we are a test” but the people still wouldn’t listen They learned magic that would create fights between a husband and wife

5
Ayah 102 - Roots Taa Laam Waaw – 1. what the devils recited; 2. what the devils followed (over here shaitan refers to the evil jinns) Faa Taa Noon – to heat gold in fire; a situation that is very difficult; a temptation Faa Raaw Qaaf – to divide Daawd Raaw Raaw – even if they practised magic it would not take any effect until Allah allows it

6
Ayah 102 – Roots Khaaw Laam Qaaf – a share of goodness; they knew that by practicing magic, they would have not good in the hereafter Selling your soul to the devil; If only they knew the consequences of practicing magic The people purchased magic with their imaan

7
An effect whose cause is unknown is Magic Real Magic = Black Magic There is no such thing as innocent magic

11
Lessons The Bani Israel were impressed with magic (what is OUR state)? They continued to practice magic even after the time of Suleiman A.S. (Labid bin Asam performed magic on the Prophet SAW) Magic can destroy families An action may be forbidden but if Allah commands it, then going against it is forbidden (ex. Sajdah to Adam A.S.) If you are affected by magic, turn to Allah because magicians can’t cure you

12
Allah is absolving Sulaiman(a.s) of shirk Teaching & Practising Magic is Forbidden & is Disbelief Magic doesn’t harm a person without Allah’s Permission Magic used to separate a husband and wife is a worst form of magic

13
Instead of going to some scholar of deen, they went to a magician Loosing deen, dunya and akhira by magic Benefit is very less in comparison with loss The price they paid was their iman If only they were they equally interested in the Book of Allah

14
Ayah 103 And if they had believed and feared Allah, then the reward from Allah would have been [far] better, if they only knew.

15
Ayah 103 - Roots Thaa Waaw Baa – reward; something that is returned; if only they knew about the better gain in the hereafter Mathooba – return for their taqwa and iman (if only they knew – reward of Hereafter is much better)

16
Lessons You have to have taqwa yourself; can’t blame society for the wrong They had the knowledge but didn’t act upon it; so this is not true knowledge Actions show what kind of ilm we have

19
Ayah 104 O you who have believed, say not [to Allah 's Messenger], "Ra'ina" but say, "Unthurna" and listen. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.

20
Context Allah is addressing the believers right now; to alert the listener Whatever that will be stated is important They’re being called by their attribute; shows love and care

21
Ayah 104 - Roots Raaw Aain Yaa – supervision; looking after a living creature; 1. feeding 2. protection – Sahabah used to say Raa’ina to the Prophet; Allah said don’t say this because: 1. you only say it to someone who is equal to you; Prophet is greater 2. this word with a slight twist means something else; the Bani Israel would use it to mean something abusive (shepherd, donkey, stupid, foolish) Noon Dhaaw Raaw – to look; to wait

22
Ayah 104 - Roots Seen Meem Aain – listen attentively; listening v.s. accepting – Listen from the beginning to you don’t have to ask the Prophet SAW to repeat himself – Obey and follow what is said

25
Qur’an Teaches us How to speak Be very careful of the choice of words when you speak Don’t address a person in such a manner that could be insulting for him/her. When someone is speaking, listen to him/her carefully If you forbid someone from doing something, then also give them an alternative.

26
Lessons Allah knows what words we utter and the intention behind it Some like you, some don’t when you do dawah Sometimes it is expressed through hostility and sometime through words – vulgar and obscene in his speech Don’t get down to their level Be careful in choice of words (examples)

27
Lessons Continued… When someone is speaking to you, listen attentively When we stop others from doing something, give them the alternate Importance of reciting Qu’ran properly While fixing faults, we should be careful A believer doesn’t use abusive words

28

30
Ayah 105 - Roots Raaw Baa Baa – Allah’s being; Rabb is of 2 types: 1. Rabb of entire creation and 2. Specific: special nourishment which is faith, knowledge  referring to this in this context Khaaw Saawd Saawd – singles out/chooses; Allah chooses who He wants to bestow His mercy on – Mercy over here refers to prophet hood (not the choice of people)

31
Context Over here Khair refers to revelation/knowledge from Allah SWT; They were jealous so Allah SWT is warning the Prophet SAW that they are not your well- wishers But know that they can’t take the good from you because its from Allah

32
LESSONS No one can harm a believer until Allah intends A person should accept the division of Allah SWT Humans have friends and enemies If you want khair for others, Allah will want khair for you A person’s jealousy can not steal anything from us; if you have something or lose something, its from Allah

33
Ayah 106 We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that Allah is over all things competent?

34
Context The jealousy of Bani Israel sometimes took form by creating doubts in people’s hearts Concept of abrogation is discussed in this ayah Running out of ideas so they came up with apparent “contradictions” in the Qu’ran

37
Abrogation Abrogation of the Verse Without the Ruling Naskh at-Tilawah doona al-Hukm Abrogation of the Ruling Without the Verse Naskh al-Hukm doona at- Tilaawah Abrogation of Ruling and the Verse Naskh al-Hukm wa at-Tilaawah

38
Gradual Implementation of the Qur’an (ex. of alcohol command) Test for the Believers Allah can do whatever He pleases Beneficial & Easier for People Increase in the Reward for Believer Reminder of Mercy of Allah

40
Lessons Naskh is present in the Qu’ran and we can’t deny it The abrogating ruling is better Immense wisdom in abrogation: changes with time for different circumstances The final shariah (final commands) are the best Can’t abrogate any commands now

41
Ayah 107 Do you not know that to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and [that] you have not besides Allah any protector or any helper?

42
Ayah 107 Waaw Laam Yaa – to be close to another; a close friend; closest male relative of a woman; a protector Noon Saawd Raaw – helps out at the time of oppression; if you don’t obey Allah, you have no wali or naseer

49
Ayah 109 Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.

O Allah, allow us to see the truth as truth, and grant us the strength to follow and abide by it, and allow us to see falsehood as falsehood and grant us the strength to remain away from it.
